Subject: YAPC Europe 2007 - Call for Papers
Message-ID: <20070112155931.GA14956@eborcom.com>
For those who haven't already seen it, here's the call for papers for
this year's YAPC::Europe. We've got plenty of time to think up ideas.
Tom
----- Forwarded message from Michael Kr?ll -----
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the YAPC Europe 2007
in Vienna, Austria, 29th to 31st August 2007:
http://vienna.yapceurope.org/ye2007/cfp.html
The theme for this year's conference is "Social Perl", which we hope
will inspire submissions for this and related topics. If Perl has helped
you or your company to get people together, or if you can report how
Perl is "social" to other programming languages, or how Perl may profit
from inspirations from other languages, we'd like to hear about it.
Although this is our main topic for the conference, it will not be the
only one, and as such we will also be accepting talks on just about any
theme.
Types of talks include 20 or 40 minutes talks, 60-90 minute tutorials,
or 3 hour Hack-a-thons, BOFs or Workshops.
Please submit talk proposals via the conference web site until
Sunday, 27th May 2007.
A Call for Participation will follow in a few weeks.
Please forward this CFP to potentially interested speakers.
Thanks,
The YAPC Europe 2007 Organisers

Subject: UK Subversion user group meeting / Google code jam
Message-ID: <45AB6372.6010902@ngo.org.uk>
All,
I thought denizens of this list might be interested in the UK Subversion
user group meeting that's happening this Thursday. That's followed later in
the evening with a Google Code Jam event. Both of which are in London,
rather than Milton Keynes, unfortunately.

I probably need to write shorter slugs...

Hi Nik, I would have loved to go but had a chess match.
What was the events like? (For future reference :-)

Thanks for that Nik, the slides are informative (though it looks like they
are repeated in the PDF?) and it sounds like it was a good event.
SVN::Web looks cool, I'll have to try that out :-)

Yeah -- the PDF has the slides (full page) and then it has the slides +
notes. I couldn't work out how to get OpenOffice to export just the slides
+ notes pages as PDF.

We've been using it at work for a few months. Some of us find it very
useful as an alternative to the traditional Subversion or TortoiseSVN
view of the repository.
It only took half an hour for me to get it running as plain CGI and a
little longer to write a custom filter.
I really like its filters: ours looks for text of the form ticket#\d+
in commit messages and replaces them with a hyperlink to the ticket of
that number. Simple filters don't require much more work than writing
a regular expression.
Having SVN::Web gives every commit its own hyperlink, which I often
use in email, IM or on our Wiki.
Of the modules I've started using recently, SVN::Web is up there with
HTML::Tree in the "I really like this" category.
(Message sent for the benefit of readers who haven't yet installed
SVN::Web, not to boost Nik's ego..)

Subject: Meeting on Tuesday 30th January
Message-ID: <20070128203950.GA21891@eborcom.com>
Happy New Year!
Our first meeting on 2007 takes place in the usual pub, Wetherspoon's
near Milton Keynes railway station:
http://miltonkeynes.openguides.org/?J.D_Wetherspoon%2C_Central_Milton_Keynes
After a two month break I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and
hopefully meeting a few newcomers too. These meetings take a laid
back form, where the conversation meanders around whatever topics we
happen to find interesting. Perl usually takes a significant part in
our conversation, so it's a good occasion to ask questions or share
ideas.
I'll arrive around 8pm, but feel free to arrive whenever you find
convenient. If you think you might not recognise us, please ask
off-list for my mobile number.
I'd also like to thank everyone who got involved in 2006. I'm really
surprised how well this group has worked out: we probably have
Britain's third most active Perl Mongers group at the moment. I've
enjoyed the discussions on the list, having a few drinks in the pub
(even when the pub was closed!) and I'm especially pleased we've held
some good technical meetings. We've not only had a few well-known
visitors come and talk to us, it's also been good to see a fair
proportion of us talking about the interesting things we do with Perl.
So, I'm looking forward to more of that in 2007!
See you on Tuesday,
Tom
